Trump agrees to meet Kim Jong Un, South Korean official says

Don't get your hopes up, but Trump isn't like all recent past presidents; he gets things done. TD

Trump agrees to meet Kim Jong-un by MAY: North Korean despot invites President to talks and agrees to suspend missile tests 

. . . "A statement from White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said the place and time was to be determined.

" 'President Trump greatly appreciates the nice words of the South Korean delegation and President Moon. He will accept the invitation to meet with Kim Jong Un at a place and time to be determined,' Sanders said. 'We look forward to the denuclearization of North Korea. In the meantime, all sanctions and maximum pressure must remain.'

"Kim sent a personal letter to the U.S. president that was delivered Thursday. 
The message was passed to the White House through a South Korean delegation which held their own talks with the dictator this week.

" 'In return, Kim is offering to suspend his nuclear missile testing program, Chung told White House officials before he briefed press from the building's North Lawn.
He had met Kim earlier in the week in Pyongyang, the dictator's capital. " . . .

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un may propose sending his sister, Kim Yo-jong, to the US as part of efforts to launch direct talks between Washington and Pyongyang, according to a South Korean diplomatic source.
That may be one of a number of possible messages South Korean envoy Chung Eui-yong will deliver to US National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster in Washington this week, the source told the South China Morning Post, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
“Kim Jong-un has a certain message, which is not publicised to be delivered directly to the Trump administration. It’s something very unconventional and something very unusual. I don’t know if the US will disclose this message to the public.”
Chung will deliver “conditions from the North Korean side to start some bilateral dialogue with the United States,” the source said.
